The Cinematic Orchestra - Past, Present & Future (2007)

A very intimate and acoustic album with minimal electronic embellishments. This collection contains instrumental versions of much of the Ma Fleur album (released the same year) and some rarities towards the end, including a song titled Lullaby. That should be your last song of the night.

The Cinematic Orchestra - Every Day (2002)


With a virtuosic blend of live instrumentation and subtle electronics, these songs are able to distort your perception of time and reality. Movements that span ten minutes feel like introspective journeys that allow you to take your own path with the assurance of pleasurable resolve.

Boozoo Bajou - Dust My Broom (2005)


Boozoo Bajou is one of those artists I start playing and let it play on from album to album. Their music is, in one word, comforting. The scene here is a swamp, so the atmosphere is muggy and thick bass lines hang low in the air.

Savath & Savalas - The Rolls And Waves EP (2002)


Better known as Prefuse 73. A downtempo and drifting album that ends just a little too soon.

40 Winks - The Lucid Effect (2008)


This is perfect late night hip-hop, as the title suggests. It's the soundtrack to your dreams.
